Missouri -- ranked between No. 9 Ohio and No. 7 Delaware -- fell at or near the national average for the proportions of people identifying as black, multiracial or some other race. Missouri's rate for the number of people below the poverty line was close to the national average: 16.2 percent in Missouri compared to 15.9 percent nationally.

But not everything about Missouri is normal. White Missourians were overrepresented at 80.5 percent, and Missourians identifying as Hispanic or Latino were underrepresented at 3.7 percent.
